[Elecraft] Raspberry Pi Ham Programs

[Terry Brown]

If any of you are interested in using a Raspberry Pi for qrp/field
operations, there is a great source of information for setting up you Pi for
that.  If you have not discovered KM4ACK's YouTube channel, you might
consider doing so.  I have been a Patreon member of his group and have
followed Jason's (KM4ACK) development of Pi ham software over the last six
months.  He recently completed his latest version of "Build-a-pi V3".   It
has probably 20 ham programs from many digital programs, to ham clock, to
logging programs, to propagation programs..the list goes on.

 

The remarkable thing is you install everything from one command line in the
terminal window of the pi and his video tells you how to do that.  It takes
a Raspberry Pi 4 about 4 hours to install all the programs.

 

You will need to flash a clean copy of the latest Buster on an SD card.  It
also helps to connect an ethernet cable from your router to the Pi, but you
can do it with the wireless network connection.

 

This is the culmination of almost a year's work by Jason.  He has learned as
he had gone, and it is truly a remarkable effort.   He has a lot of other
videos as well that relate to the operation of the Pi.
